Call me overly optimistic, but I think tonight's game is Devils' game to lose. I think the confusion in the sudden (and drastic) change of systems (only 4 days ago) in New York should lead to a bad on-ice product tonight. That's not taking into account rosters or what either team will look like come December or January or March, it's just the simple fact that there's no way they're playing Alain Vigneault-coordinated hockey quite yet; I'm expecting a lot of bad positioning and lapses on defense that hopefully our team can capitalize on. I'm sure we'll see Girardi doing snow angels on the ice trying to block shots, while whichever kid is his linemate is going to be doing what Vigneault told him to do the day before; it's gonna be sloppy, and hopefully we can take advantage.

I'm looking forward to seeing what Boucher does, and I also think that Olesz-Loktionov-Teddy line could be very entertaining. Lots of speed and 3 guys who have something to prove.

I, too, am looking forward to seeing what Boucher can do against NHLers.
